If you're English arriving in Amsterdam?

Question

in your a British citizen arriving in the Netherlands (specifically Amsterdam) with the intention of staying permanently, do you need to register for any kind of permit of card of residence or anything? I know that in theory you are entitled to live and work there but surely you need to register this? because surely you need a Dutch national insurance/tax number if you intend to work there?

where is a good place to go in Amsterdam to ask about these issues, Police Station? British Consulate? some kind of municipal building?

any help much appreciated

Answer 1

I'm English & have lived here for 6 years you need to go to the town hall in dutch Gemeente of where you live in holland & get what is called a sofi nummer National Insurance to you & me take your passport & birth certifacte BUT MAKE SURE they Don't accept a birth certicate older than 6 months to the date that you go. As for a stamp you don't need one because your in the EU but if you need a morgage you will have to get one but you can get them for so long eg 6months 1 year etc. but make sure your up to date with the rule coz they do change on a regular basis again passport & new birth certiacate. Have fun living over here.

Answer 2

You are part of the European Union. I think that is should be ok. Go to the Consulate web site and check there it will tell you all you need to know.

Answer 3

Ask the Dutch consulate in England first. They can tell you everything you need to know.

Answer 4
